Here’s what people are saying about the 2012 Conference:
” The two day small wind conference was the best conference I’ve attended all year. The speakers were excellent and presented lots of extremely useful and current information on lots of different aspects of small wind power. Those two fact filled days will help me stay abreast of economic, technological, and political trends. Frankly, I was astounded by how much I learned.“ Dan Chiras, Author and Director of the Evergreen Institute
” The Small Wind Conference is an excellent resource to learn about and understand the small wind industry. If I had to pick just one conference to attend each year, this would be the one.” Lise Trudeau
” I want to thank you for the kindness and support that you and all the staff of SWC gave us. We really appreciated the outstanding contents of the presentations and the quality of relationships we had the chance to make. The overall organization was flawless.” Danielle Pellicardi and Andrea Rossi, Montanari Energy
